Explorations in Clayland Part 23: Squirrels!

Nut-thing to see here.

My clay creations have stumbled into whimsical territory before. After all, I've dropped multiple posts on Mushroom Folk. But today, I got a little nutty and showcase a horde of tree-climbing, seed-snatching rodents of various sizes.

Common Squirrels: What they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. There are eight in total, one for every side of a STOP sign, which they'll ignore as they snatch your jar of peanut-butter.

Mutant Squirrel: Mean, green, and bristling with un-squirrel-like spines, this hefty specimen nibbled on a nuclear walnut. Watch out, its bite causes radiation poisoning.

Giant Squirrel: This massive rodent puts could be mistaken for an odd-colored beaver. But no, it's a squirrel that can beat up a mid-sized dog and chew through a picket fence.

Albino Squirrel: Only different from the common squirrel by lacking pigmentation. That, and a +3 bonus while crossing icy terrain and an affinity for broadswords.

Fire Squirrel: This tree-dweller is the number one cause of forest fires in its home region. Several mixed drinks and alternative bands are named after it.

Rabid Squirrel: If you look closely, you can see its frothing mouth. On second thought, why are you getting so close to a rabid squirrel's mouth? Run!

Squirrel King: Deemed ruler over all the squirrels of the Nut Kingdom after pulling a magical sword out of a tree stump. He got the crown from the Royalty Surplus Store.

Creative Tool: Idea Mutation

It's mutating out of control! Here is another wild method of improving the creativity of ideas through the process of introducing random 'mutations'. I call it Idea Mutation. Method: Start with an idea. Add it to a circle on the far left side of a piece of paper. That is round 1. Make two branches off the first idea. Each branch has a new circle. That is round 2. For each branch, roll a 10-sided dice and select the 'mutation' from the table below. For each branch, create a 'mutated' idea incorporating that branch's mutation. Continue branching and mutation ideas for subsequent rounds (3, 4, etc.). Modifications: Include different mutations (ex. Add Thrill, More Collaborative, Clearer, etc.) Add null mutation (no changes for certain branches) Change probability of mutations (same mutation for more than one number) Examples:

Creative Tool: Idea Bracket

Let the Best Idea Win. How to generate great ideas? Why not create an Idea Bracket ? It is analogous to a sports league play-off. Ideas are pitted against each other, with the winning idea moving on to the next round. The last idea standing is the winner. I do have a few additional rules. The Three M's : Modify, Merge, and Markup. These rules allow for both idea modification and saving sub-winner ideas. Simple enough, right? Let's try it out on some examples. Story Beginning Location Floating City and Haunted Graveyard merged into Floating Graveyard Screaming Wastelands modified into Blasted Wastelands Winner was Floating Graveyard and Sundered Titan merged into Floating Graveyard of Titans Artistic Inspiration Shack Brainstorming and Review Idea/Notes merged to Shack Review Ideas TCG View modified to TCG Mashup Shack Review Ideas marked for later Monster App and Walk and Song merged to Walk and Song with Monster App Priming Winner was T...

Myth Match #3: Simplifying Forms

Heads or tails... This is the third and final entry into combinations from Myth Match. For the last few combos, I'll also create a simplified version to use as an avatar or icon. Amphis Lion: A combination of the doubled-headed serpent made from the blood of a gorgon, the Amphismafha , and the mighty feline of Greek myth, the Nemean Lion . Ahujcinus: A combination of the Aztec beast with possum and primate parts, the Anhujzotl , and the crab of titanic proportions, the Carcinus . Chitinger: A combination of the fusion beast of Greek fame, the Chimera , and the alpine forest dweller of German folklore, the Wolpertinger .
